Two more days
Till two years after
Not quite the plan
He's a good man
With a good heart
Who loves her
Without a doubt
She is happy
Content
On life's path
Or so it seems
The sound of settling
Can barely be heard
But is a chill through her veins
She laughs
Her smiles genuine
She loves,
Trusts
And that is all she needs
So says the world
He comes in often
He just sits there
He speaks
Smiles
His laughter stirs the ground
And somehow his eyes speak volumes
A thousand words in two brown mirrors
A million questions asked
A million and one answers
An invitation never given
A confirmation never said
The coolness in her blood dissipates
There is an uncomfortable yet assuring warmth
Her eyes alight
Yet the coolness and the calm clash with this energy
Reality breaks
A phone call
An appointment
A Tuesday night date
Two days to two years
A lifetime in waiting
The right guy
The right time
The right place
Yeah
It seems so comforting
